You are suggestion one, or both, of two things: (1) Programs written in an OOL is more buggy than programs written in a non-OOL. (2) The OOL itself is more buggy than a non-OOL itself (that is, the language specification, and their compiler implementations). Although in specific, I can find definite cases to support these arguments, I can find definite (and more) cases to negate them. As such, I find both very far from the truth in general. But I'd rather just say I think it does not have any weight. Furthermore, if the OOs are buggy, that implies trouble to me. ????
